TG,

The BMI chart is the standard calculation for weight to height ratio - according to a sliding scale you are definately within the low side of normal scale.

it works like this

weight / height2 x 705 = <18.5 underweight
18.5-25 healthy
25 + over weight
30 * obese

and as there are very few ejector seats that I know of in commercial airliners you should be ok ; )

good luck

ps. weight is in lbs. and height in inches
